SECTION 1,
Mr. Max Müller to Sir Edward Grey.-(Received April 1.)
(No. 62.) (Telegraphic.) P.
Peking, April 1, 1910. THE question which formed the subject of my telegram No. 48 of the 10th ultimo was discussed by Mr. Mayers with Liang-shi-yi. Our position with regard to the Shanghae-Ningpo Railway might be weakened by a direct refusal, and as the Chinese are not pressing for a definite reply I am in favour of delay.
